JOHN P. OETH, OF CANTON, MISSOURI.

H EATING-STOVE.

SPECIFICATION formingpart of Letters Patent No. 225,234, dated March 9, 1880.

Application filed July 10, 1879.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, JOHN P. OETH, of Canton, in the county of Lewis and State of Missouri, have invented a new and Improved Heating-Stove, of which the following is a specification.

The object of this invention is to increase the heating-surface of stoves, to prevent accidental contact of the body or clothing with. the heated surface of the stove, and to enhance the appearance of the stove.

It consists in combining with the body of the stove drums or radiators, and arranging the body so that the products of combustion can escape to the radiators above only from its rear end, thus insuring that only heated products will enter them.

It also consists of guards or fenders attached to the sides of the body to prevent accidental contact of the body or clothingtherewith.

In the accompanying drawings Figure l is a vertical cross-section of my improved stove on line a: x of Fig. 2, and Fig. 2 is a longitudinal sectional elevation on line y y of Fig. 1.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.

Referring to the drawings, A is the body of the stove, cylindrical in form and supported horizontally on legs B. This body is provided with a lining, a, and a grate, b. On top of body A, near the ends, are boxes 0 0, each having two short upwardly-projecting pipes, c 0. Under the box 0, at the far end, openings are made through the top of body A immediately under pipes c a, one of which is shown in the drawings and designated by the letter at. These are the only openings for the passage of the products of combustion from the fire-chamber, and they are thus compelled to pass to the far end of the chamber, and thence ascend to the drums above through openings,

as indicated by the arrows. This arrangement makes it impossible for cold air to ascend to the drums or radiators above when there is a fire in the stove, as it is compelled to pass over a body of fire before reaching openings 0/.

D D are two cylindrical drums, having short pipes or necks, d (:1, near each end on one side, and similar pipes e c on the opposite side. Pipes 61 (Z are placed over the pipes c on boxes 0, and thus connect the drums with the body of the stove.

A partly-cylindrical drum, E, has boxes ff on the under side near the ends, with short downward-projecting pipes, which are joined to the pipes e 0 opening on drums D, communication being thus established between drum E and the stove through drums D, as clearly shown in Fig. 1.

The ends of drums D are closed by caps g,

which are readily taken off to give access to the drums for cleaning them of soot, 86c. On the bottom of the drum E is placed a damper, g, over the opening h at the far end leading into f. The handle of this damper projects out at the front end, for convenience in opening and closing the damper. The top plate of drum E is carried down on the sides and provided with an ornamental edge, and the corners are secured together by right-angular clips 43, which may be of polished metal to give a better effect to the stoves appearance. Ontop of the drum is an urn, j, and around the edges are knobs k, Which may be of polished metal, porcelain, or other ornamental material.

On either side of the body A are placed guards or fenders G, composed of parallel bars of polished metal attached to wire frames Z, projecting from the flanged heads of the body, as shown. This fender prevents children from falling against the hot stove, also prevents garments from coming in contact therewith, and, lastly, serves as a rest for the feet.

The pipe H is designed to communicate with the chimney-flue. The products of combustion are led from the fire-chamber up into drums D, through which they circulate and give forth their heat, and thence pass into drum E, and circulate through this before escaping into the pipe or flue. Thus, the products of combustion being long retained in the stove or radiators after leaving the fire-chamber, a more thorough radiation of the heat is obtained, and consequently there is more heat obtained, with less expenditure of fuel than in thestoves heretofore constructed.

In making a fire in the stove the damper g is opened, so as to allow a perfectly free draft direct from the fire-chamber to the flue. When the fire is Well under Way damper g is closed, causing the products of combustion to pass through the whole length of drums D D and E before escaping out of pipe H into the flue. When the fire burns too hard, close the damper in pipe H, and thus decrease the draft and retain the body of heat in the stove and drums.

1n the end of drum E opposite that from which the damper-handle projects is a sliding door, 1). When the drum is to be cleaned, door 1) is opened, and, the damper being withdrawn from over opening h, a scraper is inserted, and by means thereof the soot, dust, ashes, &c., are scrapedinto boxes f, from whence they fall, through pipes 0, into drums D, from which they can be shoveled out, or they can be scraped down, through pipes 0 cl at the rear end of the stove, through openings a, into the fire-chamber, and removed therefrom with the ashes.

Having thus described my invention, Iclaim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent 1. As an improvement in heating-stoves,

the cylindrical drums D D, connected with the boxes 0 (J over the body A by short pipes c d, and communicating with the fire chamber through openings a in the top thereof at the rear end, the partly-cylindrical drum E, provided with the damper g for closing hole h, said drum communicating with drums I) D, in combination with the body A of the stove, whereby the products of combustion, after leaving the fire-chamber, are carried to the rear end thereof, and, ascending through openings a, may be compelled to travel the entire length of the drums before escaping, in the manner substantially as described.

' 2. The shields or fenders G, composed of parallel bars attached to wires 1, in combination with the body A of the stove, for the purpose of warding off contact with the stove, and to furnish a rest for the feet, substantially as described.

JOHN PETER OETH.
